The NBA is in the offseason, and James executes the player option worth $52.63 million in the last year. NBA famous singer Skip pointed out incisively: James is actually dissatisfied with the Lakers not giving him a new contract, which surprised me and confused me. At the same time, rumors about James' deals are flying everywhere. US media updated the odds of James's next home if he leaves the Lakers, as follows: the Mavericks ranked first (+125), the Heat ranked second (+500), the Cavaliers ranked third (+550), the Warriors ranked fourth (+600), and the Knicks ranked fifth (+800). In addition, there are many new developments in the NBA, let’s take a look.

The first one: Fat Tiger's good news

In the west, Fat Tiger welcomes good news. According to Pelicans reporter Shamsit Dua, several league sources revealed that the Pelicans converted Zion's contract for the 25-26 season into a fully guaranteed contract. Turning back to the 2022 offseason, the Pelicans gave Zion a five-year, $197 million maximum salary contract, but the conditions for obtaining the contract include passing regular weight checks of & to meet the number of games. According to the contract, if Zion is not cut today, the contract for the new season will be converted into full protection, with an amount of up to US$39.44 million. Zion is a double-edged sword, and his style of play is full of violent aesthetics, but the key is that Zion's attendance rate is too low, and he only played 214 games in the first six seasons of his career. Take last season for example. Zion only played 30 games, but averaged 24.6 points + 7.2 rebounds + 5.3 assists + 1.2 steals per game. This may be the reason why the Pelicans are still willing to give him a chance.

The second article: The Mavericks' center is injured

The Mavericks' side, another bad news came, and another center is injured. According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, Mavericks center Levley underwent a bone spur removal surgery for the right foot. According to NBA reporter Shams, Lefly will recover before the start of training camp in the new season. Lefly suffered from injuries in the first two seasons of his career and played only 91 games. Among them, in the 23-24 season, Lefly played 55 games, averaging 8.8 points + 6.9 rebounds + 1.1 assists + 1.4 blocks per game; in the 24-25 season, Lefly played 36 games, averaging 8.7 points + 7.5 rebounds + 2.4 assists + 1.6 blocks per game. It is worth mentioning that in addition to Lefly, the Mavericks' main defender Irving (knee) and the inside Thick Eyebrow (eyes) are also in the injury stage, and injuries may become the Mavericks' biggest enemy in the new season.

Yang Hansen's 2K score was released

Official news from the NBA, 2K manager Ronnie personally visited Yang Hansen and revealed Yang Hansen's initial score of 2K26 - 70 points! What is this concept? For comparison, the new No. 1 pick Flag 2K initially scored 82, which is the second highest rookie 2K score in NBA2K history, second only to Vinban Yama (84). Yang Hansen is a certain distance from Flag, but compared with his idol Jokic, he won at the starting line - Jokic's initial rating of 2K in the 2015-16 season was only 68, and then he increased year by year through his own efforts until he grew to the first person with the 2K ability value (97). When 2K manager Ronnie asked Yang Hansen how much ability he could be at the end of the season, Yang Hansen put down his bold words: Just don’t fall down!

The fourth chapter: The Warriors' signing target has been exposed

The free agent trading market has been opened, and the Warriors have remained silent and have been questioned. If we want to trace the origin, the key is that Kumingga's future is unresolved! In the words of US media, the Warriors' management is very smart. Once the contract issue of Kumingga is finalized, the Warriors will inevitably accelerate the signing. Just today, the Warriors' target of signings was exposed. According to NBA famous reporter Stein, the Warriors are eager to sign Horford and Melton at the same time, and they are also interested in introducing Bills. It is worth mentioning that Curry (37), Butler (35) and Zhu Meng Green (35) are no longer young, and the Warriors' recruitment goal also meets the standards of "old, weak, sick and disabled". If James really wants to leave the Lakers, then we may really have the opportunity to witness James joining hands with Curry to form the most luxurious Sunset Red Team in NBA history! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
